Advanced Soft-Solder Techniques: 2 Different Ways To Make Solder Spikes

 


Hey friends! I have lots of new videos I'm releasing and in my newest video tutorial on my YouTube channel I teach you two different ways to create a cool spike effect with soft solder.


This technique can be used to create unusual jewelry with a Goth, Fantasy, or Punk Rock effect and is really fun to make!


Now, this technique does take a bit of practice so don't be discouraged if you don't get it right on the first try - as I always say, soft soldering takes practice and repetition and you have to have that stick-to-it-ivenss!


Check it out today!


Happy summer!
Laura

New Video Tutorial: Easy Soft Soldered Pendant

 



Hey friends, I have a fun and relatively easy soldering project for you this week on my YouTube channel! 

If you ever had some stones or crystals that you wanted to turn into jewelry but they didn't have holes to use as beads or to thread anything through, then this project is for you!

I use a cabochon in my project that I demonstrate in the video, but you can use this technique on many different stones and crystals as I said. 



As always, beneath the video in the description I list all of the tools and materials you need to make this project.




Head on over to my YouTube channel and check it out

PART 2! Big Easy Heart Pendant Beginner Soft Soldering





Yay! I just released PART 2 of my Big Easy Heart Project (catch Part 1 here if you missed it!) 

The first project (part 1) was for all stages of expertise, so whether you are experienced with soft soldering or a beginner who is just getting started, I encourage you to give it a go!

Now for PART 2 we get a little more skilled and fancy, using some new techniques including hammering and using patina and adding a few beads, so be sure to check out the new video and give it a try!

And as I said last time, if you are the type of learner who really wants all the tiny details, I have good news for you - I will be offering detailed versions of many of my projects on my to-be-released-down-the-road Pateron page, so stay tuned for updates about that! 

I have been working hard to get it organized and ready - there is a lot of planning involved to make it great!

I will offer a few different tiers for patrons to choose from ranging from the simple (behind the scenes photos, early access to some content) as well as more involved (access to my private Discord, full tutorials, occasional Q&A's) to the most involved (help with projects, goodie packages(!)) So be sure to stay tuned for that. 

Now let's take a look at parts 1 & 2 of the Big Easy Heart Pendant...

From this in part 1:


To this in part 2

Big Easy Heart Pendant Beginner Soft Soldering




This heart project video is for all stages of expertise, so whether you are experienced with soft soldering or a beginner who is just getting started, I know you will love this project!

And if you are the type of learner who really wants all the tiny details, I have good news for you - I will be offering detailed versions of most of my projects on my later-to-be-released Pateron page, so stay tuned for updates about that! It will take me a little while to get it organized - there is a lot of planning involved to make it great!

I will offer a few different tiers for patrons to choose from ranging from the simple (behind the scenes photos, early access to some content) as well as more involved (access to my private Discord, full tutorials, occasional Q&A's) to the most involved (help with projects, goodie packages(!)) So be sure to stay tuned for that. 




Don't miss out on this video though, I think you are going to like it. And as an added bonus, it has a secret part 2 that I will release in a little while where I'll show you how you can take this simple project to an entirely new level. And if you haven't already, don't forget to subscribe.
